The worst restaurant I have walked into in nearly two decades. I thought oh a 4.7 it must be good. I walked in and it was by far the dirtiest one I have seen probably ever. The visible kitchen was disgusting. I moved the chair to sit and I felt like I needed a shower. I tried to convince myself it is a hole in the wall and the food will be great. Nope. They brought my road kill masked as “Asada” and I took one bite spit it in my napkin and got out of my filthy chair at an even dirtier table on the gross floor and walked down the street a couple blocks to a different Mexican restaurant and had a great meal. Do not eat here. Health code rating of F with even worse food.

One of the best ceviches I’ve had in a long time, and it was only $7,80. They have Modelo Negra on tap. The salsas were excellent too, and I really enjoyed the California Burrito with Carne Asada.

This is a great hole in the wall place. The freshest piña I’ve ever had and delicious salsas. Prices were great and I loved my burrito. Could not recommend more.

Dude this is the place for street tacos in Pasadena. The carne asada tacos were absolute cinema. Salsa was really good and the staff was attentive even though it's counter-order. And real nice to sit outside on a not too busy street
